Introduction to Putin’s expected victory: Vladimir Putin becomes president of Russia for the fifth time File photo: Reuters Vladimir Putin has been re-elected as the President of Russia. He is in power in the country since 2000. Putin is Russia’s longest-serving leader since former Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin.
If all goes well, the 71-year-old Putin will take over as Russia’s president for the fifth time. He had no strong opponent in this election. There is currently no opposition leader in Russia to challenge him. Putin can remain president until 2036 if he wants. The chances of stopping him are slim.
Vladimir Putin was a street fighter. He spent most of his childhood living in a house with many people in Leningrad.
Putin has repeatedly tried to justify his actions by expressing his idiosyncratic views on history and his deep resentment of the Western military alliance, NATO.
Putin has repeatedly claimed, before and after the start of military operations in Ukraine, that Ukraine is an artificial state dominated by neo-Nazis. He was always vocal about the fact that Ukraine could not be close to the NATO alliance.
Among Western leaders, Putin was undoubtedly best known by former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. He has tried to negotiate with Putin numerous times. But when Putin sent troops to attack Kiev, Merkel concluded about Russian President Putin: “He (Putin) wants to destroy Europe.”
Putin was born on October 7, 1952 in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) in the former Soviet Union, seven years after the end of World War II. His father is Spiridonovich Putin, mother Maria Ivanovna Putina. Putin is the youngest of the couple’s three sons.
Putin grew up in Leningrad, the son of a poor family. Putin’s brother was assassinated during the capture of Leningrad. His parents survived. These childhood ups and downs had a profound effect on the rest of Putin’s life.
Russia’s three-day presidential election produced expected results. Vladimir Putin has been elected president of Russia for the fifth time with absolute victory.
The Kremlin’s complete control over Russian politics and even the country’s electoral system was already understood.
That said 87 percent of the vote? What will Putin do with so many votes? Or Putin’s fifth term?
In answer to these questions, it can be said that Putin’s fifth term is going to be similar to the regime of the fourth term. Better not to expect too much difference.
Because Putin will not magically transform from a sharp hunting hawk to a dove symbol of peace.
Putin has been in power in Russia for almost 25 years. She is now the longest-reigning leader of Russia since Catherine the Great.
So he can confidently talk about the development of Russia even when the country is at war. Where he claims, he is fighting this war to protect the existence of his country. He dismantled the democratic system imposed by the West. And he predicts that post-election Russia will be even stronger.
But Putin’s critics say a leader’s political confidence, especially overconfidence, can be dangerous.
Especially when there is no balance of power in a country’s political system. Little balance of power exists in Russia today.
Putin’s expected victory, then which way Russia? To know more about this with us.
